Chicago Police investigate shooting at a laundromat on 79th Street on Monday night.
CAPTIONS
Seven people have been shot tonight including a 14-year-old at a coin laundry in the South Chicago neighborhood, authorities said.
Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said an EMS Plan I, which automatically sends at least five ambulances to the scene, was called about 8:20 p.m. for a shooting in the 7900 block of South Marquette Avenue.
Many of the victims were "laid out" on the floor of the coin laundry in the 2600 block of East 79th Street, said Langford. The laundry's glass window was shattered and police are running around trying to interview people, said Langford.
"Most of" the shooting happened at the laundry, said Langford.
The 14-year-old victim was taken in serious to critical condition to University of Chicago Comer Children's Hospital, said Langford, who said most of the victims were "young adults.''
Langford said one person was taken in serious to critical condition to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, two victims who were in fair to serious condition were taken to South Shore Hospital, one was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in serious to critical condition, and one was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn. The seventh victim was taken to Jackson Park Hospital in fair to serious condition, Langford said.

My, the Obamkins been busy today. Nothing reported on what race it was but it is easy to figure out in the chicago thug culture.
We live in a bizarro world where the writing is on the wall for everyone to see regarding politics, race, crime statistics, financial problems, drugs, and homicide. The numbers are there. Endemic poverty and victimhood nurtured by the siren’s song of socialism and a corrupt government. And the band played on.
You baaaaad....lol.
No
Practically every single day this type of this is reported. 5 killed, 8, 16 killed in Chicago.
Why anyone in their right mind would live there unless they just could NOT get a job anywhere else, I have no idea.
Just another day in a gun-free zone
He got a .32 gun in his pocket for fun,
And a razor in his shoe.
Banning more guns.
It should work in Chicago. Right?
Can I get an amen?
Amen!
Guns kill people, non-law abiding citizens never do anything of the sort.
My thoughts too. I encounter reasonable black people all the time. But the percentage of unreasonable trouble making wild men and women and teens is too damn high
Chicago has the toughest gun laws in the country! Heck, it’s a gun free zone! How come the local gangsters didn’t obey the law?
Criminals aren’t obeying the law, let’s hire multi-million dollar consultants to find out why!
I can’t figure out if liberals are primarily stupid or primarily evil.
Nope. I heard that a couple of the malls around Chicago have a curfew now where no minor under 18 years old is permitted without an adult. I don’t need to spell out why. I remember as a young teen taking the bus with my girlfriends to go hang out at the mall. I can’t imagine having had to drag one of our parents along each time. As with anything a few bad apples (or in some places a whole lot) ruin it for everyone.
Starched his underwear and made a clean getaway
Maybe they could switch to open carry for everyone, like in Star Trek’s “A Piece of the Action”
Obviously a misdemeanor took place at the laundry mat. For statistical purposes, I’m sure this was a freak accident.
Exactly. Obviously Chicago needs more laws. Rahm should think about pushing a law to make it illegal to kill certain people in the City of Chicago with a gun.
Do you what set off the shooting?
